Shock is our way. No one expected to see such a commotion in the centre of the market. Passersby and vendors were gaping at the incongruous picture of what had happened. Some girl - familiar to some traders, fell a healthy adventurer in lacquered outfit as something insignificant and squeezed him to the creak of crumpled armour! How else the simple peasants with panic cries: 'Demon' 'Ragnarok' did not scatter - it is unknown, and those only flapped their eyes trying to comprehend the picture of what was happening.

Some people finally died from what they saw and looked at each other uncertainly, not knowing whether to shout and call for help or to help the people who had collided with them. After all, the adventurer had pinned the little girl to the ground and seemed... dead? Completely collapsed, as if he had lost his soul.

- Are you all right, little brother Arien? - The blonde girl squeaked something and the corpse suddenly came to life, scaring the superstitious parishioners.

- The undead! The undead are up! - shouted one of the town's foolish fools, who everyone had long since given up on. Causing only muffled irritation and gnashing of teeth. - Run, you fools! Undead! Undead! We're all going to die!

Meanwhile, the adventurer mumbled something to the girl, which made her blush and mumble something back at him. After that, two dazzling cuties came up to them and one of them, charming many men with her appearance, drew attention to herself with a melodious voice:

- Please, there's no need to panic! - She looked condescendingly at the half-witted beggar who twitched at the new 'demon invasion' sermon, but was immediately silenced by the disgruntled adventurer. - We are of the Adventurer's Guild, and this one is our acquaintance and ward of the Master!!! I apologise for the inconvenience, you may return to your business. - The girl finished her speech in a honeyed tone, smiling lusciously at the passers-by. And those once - blushed, nodding their heads, saying: 'Ah-h, what a cutie! For her sake I am ready to do anything', and began to disperse on their interrupted business.

No one realised that they had been seduced by the demon of lust, nor could they have guessed it. A demon in the middle of nowhere? There was more likely to be a goblin invasion here than an enemy of mankind.

The marketplace was back to its old self. The rare adventurers who set foot here to replenish their supplies wiped off imaginary sweat. And some overly superstitious and a little green began to pray to their ancestors. None of them wanted to face the power of the little blond girl. That's just that this case attracted the attention of not too well-meaning people, following the order of their 'pigs'.

- Hey, Shnyga, look at this. A girl with that kind of strength and looks could sell for good money. We must follow her! - The bearded man was greedy, counting in his mind how much he could get for such a specimen.

His partner grimaced, clearly disapproving of the idea, not out of moral principle, but out of the inherent risk of death. Pragmatism was the key to success. That was the man's opinion. However, the elder did not consider his opinion, having set himself a goal. Which meant he would have to obey, despite his conviction. At least he would be able to make a break for it if things didn't go as planned.

In the meantime, Arien got up and helped the girl, shook off the dirt and looked critically at the dirty Hiro, who was shaking off the dust modestly, but her everyday clothes were not getting any cleaner, and she was only making it worse.

- Dirty, but it's good to see you and... don't use all your power for hugs anymore, okay? - Arien smiled wryly, ruffling the top of the blushing little girl's head.

- Ehehe, alright, little brother Arien! I'm sorry, I didn't mean it! It was just so unexpected that I couldn't help myself...' Hiro frowned, looking curiously at her new familiar sibling.

Noticing her gaze, Arien smirked, sensing the girl's emotions, but didn't give himself away with anything else. She would notice Alice sooner or later, though, so there was no better time to get to know her. And if they were brought together properly, conflicts and disagreements could be avoided.

- I see you're wondering who she is, but let's do it later. Thank you, Alice,' Arien nodded to his partner, and received an embarrassed smile from the girl. - And now... since it's such a good coincidence, I'll make you happy.

At her partner's bewildered looks, Arien beckoned the girls to the jewellery counter.

- Did you hear our conversation, sir? I...' Alice blurted out, embarrassed by the self-serving thoughts, as she was immediately interrupted by the grinning boy. The last thing he wanted was to see her like this.

- It's no trouble and don't be so nervous, if it pleases you, I'll be glad to fulfil your little needs. It would be my pleasure, too,' he glanced at the bewildered Hiro, 'to emphasise your beauty.

The guy's words had more effect than he expected to see. Alyssa pounced on her lord with a loud and happy look, plunging his head into her soft breasts. Arinée, as the less emotionally exposed one, was embarrassed. Her smile was so gentle and innocent that even the joyful merchant was penetrated and dazed, clutching his heart.

- Goddess! I... I... dare not charge such a beautiful lady! Choose what you like! - fervently assured the chubby man, wanting to watch the innocent flower for eternity. He had no idea how this flower of innocence could be tortured in lust with his lover, and if he knew, he would die in agony.

- Hm, all right. - Arien agreed, cheekily taking the opportunity to glance at his adorable little sister. With a slight sense of loss, the boy let go of the seductress who had grabbed him, only to slap her bottom one last time.

Alice didn't wait and chose a simple piece of jewellery - two black bows for her hair. After that she looked at her idol enthusiastically, as if to show off. And Arien appreciated, showing a thumbs up, which once again pleased the girl in the right choice.

Arine glanced at her brother excitedly, giving him a choice. Correctly interpreting the girl's gaze, the boy nodded and faced the difficulty of choosing.

He had no idea what to choose for his little sister. Ribbons, bows or costume jewellery? There were plenty of items, but all were trivial by the standards of his past world. He could choose at random, but he didn't want to be so irresponsible. Still, the guy wanted to emphasise the beauty of his girls. In the end, after a short deliberation, he chose two gifts: a ring with the inscription 'together forever' and a dark tiara in the form of an inverted '3'. It was certainly uncomfortable, but since his sister's armour could also retract into itself, maybe the tiara could also be included in this cycle for everyday life?

'That might work. I'll have to ask her for it later' the boy agreed with his thoughts, handing over the hair ornament.

The little sister was happy with the gifts, and accepted the ring in her own different way, with a very enthusiastic expression that Arien had never seen before. He couldn't imagine that his little sister was somehow acquiring extraneous knowledge from his past world. Unimportant and trivial, but still knowledge and information after every night spent with his brother, he had learnt new things and interpreted the gesture in his own way.

- Ahem, sis, do you want me to put the ring on? - Arien noticed her demanding gaze and the emotions of approval that flared up as he looked at the tiara in his sister's hair. She looked very pretty now, which made it necessary to restrain herself from throwing herself at her in a fit of passion.

Blushing sweetly, Arinée nodded shyly, tilting her head slightly to the side, and held out her gloved right hand.

- Here, finger...' she pointed to her ring finger with an embarrassed look, touchingly holding back a growing smile.

Arien hesitated a little, admiring it, but pulled himself together, 'She's acting a little strange, and her emotions are a whirlwind, but if she's asking for it, she's welcome to it. It's not hard for me' - he didn't know what he was signing himself up for, putting a dark ring on his finger.

Alice and Hiro looked at this gesture with a kind of envy, but kept silent, sensing the strange atmosphere.

- I agree... - Arine whispered, transforming into the happiest girl in the world.

- M-mmm, did you say something sis?

- No thanks bro!

- Okay... ahem, Hiro, I think I know what would suit you!

- Huh? Can I have a ring too? - Hiro immediately jumped at the opportunity. The girl didn't know why she wanted the hero-san to put a simple piece of jewellery on her finger, but she wanted it with all her heart!...

- Um... um... um... okay, and so that no one would be offended... - Arien swiped a white and pink ring and another black ribbon from the counter, stealthily snatched a couple of jewellery with his 'inventory'. And without noticing the proper reaction, grinned, ostensibly pleased with a good deal.

The merchant only had time to clap his eyes, unconsciously feeling envy and burning hatred for the guy!

Hiro and Alice got rings, which Arien also put on their ring fingers, and the blonde girl also got a dark ribbon for her hair, which she immediately hurried to braid into a ponytail for Alice's envy.

However, Alice quickly suppressed these feelings within herself. The lord had given her a beautiful ring to contrast her hair and dress, what else could she dream of? If only to give him a baby soon and conceive the next one? Yes, she would be inordinately happy to feel the lord in her once more and bear him many beautiful children!

- You look cute, Hiro-chan! - Arien appreciated her efforts, drooling imperceptibly.

- Thank you, brother Arien, I'll cherish your gifts! - Hiro nodded with tears and a flushed face as she looked at him happily. At the same time, she clenched her fists touchingly, feeling warmth in her chest and reverent tenderness for the ring.

This moment the lad endeavoured to capture in his memory. It seemed that his inanimate heart came alive again, and his soul sang. The girl's emotions played fire too hard that he had to abstract himself from them: 'It won't take long to become a drug addict like that.'

- Thank you good-natured merchant, I will never forget your generosity! Goodbye! - Arien hugged the happy girls by the shoulders and hurried away from the market.

To where he thought Yuki and the other group of adventurers were waiting. Time to fulfil the plan and get to the main action. Though there were thoughts of staying in the city, taking some quest and earning money and reputation. So to speak - to feel the spirit of adventure and explore the world, but you can not, at least not now. His harem must be safe and preferably near him! Preferably so they can stand up for themselves and have each other's backs. Then and only then can the pressing canon be thought of and reaped!

'So much to do-so much to do, and time and opportunities are limited. How's it going with the information gathered and the servant core, Mika?'

'Mou~ I want attention too, and you only address me on business!' - The system whined, causing the guy's eye to twitch nervously.

'Sorry-sorry, I can't be here and there. As soon as I'm done with my business, I'll think of a way to help you get a physical body. And then your arse will be in trouble!' - The guy promised her, but Mika only grinned at his words, appearing beside him as a small Fey with seductive forms, mentally resenting, 'It's been so long, and "sempai" had a chance to help take away the heat in his chest in one way! But instead of that he makes do with half-measures, though long ago he could have shown himself in her little world, where they could have engaged in an exchange of 'spiritual energy!' - and in a fit of anger, unfastened, if not tore her clothes freeing her heaving breasts.

Arien almost tripped over the half-naked little girl, but he managed to hold on. The girls helped him to keep from falling, especially Hiro.

Sensing Miki's spirit to go all the way, Arien hastily thought of ways to keep her busy some more.

'You only promise!' - provocatively, and with a sly smile, Mika walked her hands over her naked body, especially pointedly jutting out her breasts with her small hands. 'I'll get stronger and then you won't get off with mere words! I'll rape for days until you start begging me for mercy! So it's in your best interest to help me!'

'Um... that's what it's come to!' - bewildered Arien. But one had to admit, her words made sense. He hadn't studied the system, he'd taken a fleeting glance at the new features, he hadn't tested Miku's capabilities, and he'd given up on self-improvement, but he could have played with his personal goddess in his lustful imagination long ago. The same 'white gloves', when he stroked her, could become tentacles, and if he tried hard - given how easily he could imagine himself, and even satisfy the desire of the goddess with his full image. So we'd have to spend more time exploring the new plushies.

'All right,' Arien agreed, thinking about his goals, such as the manic goal of "gathering the harem in its entirety," which he'd been pursuing for weeks now without preparation, running headlong into the ground! Yes, that made sense too, but one should not forget about oneself!

So sudden was the revelation that Arien was confused and felt a tingling in his temples. Thoughts of it had stopped occupying his head and it was sudden....

Without realising it, Mika had broken the curse of the dullahan - the eternal pursuit of the 'undead'. As it was also with Arine - the eternal guardian of the portal gate, which the guy was able to free from imprisonment. But it was unlikely that anyone would know about it.

'There you go again, you don't want to... stop, what did you say?!' - Confused, Mika couldn't believe what she heard, but she couldn't get through to her sempai's thoughts.

- Mmmmmm, we're Arien's brother, why did we come to the guild? - Hiro roused the writhing Arien, who had been staring at the entrance to the Adventurer's Guild for a minute. His two partners didn't choose to interfere with their lover's thoughts, and the girl was too excited and impatient.

- Huh? - Confusedly, the boy looked round and looked round. There was confusion and incomprehension in his gaze, and in his chest a complete emptiness and unforgettable lightness. - N-I don't know... I mean... I know... but.....

The sight of Arien suddenly slumped surprised the girls. The recently determined boy was confused and looked unimpressed. He might not be able to stand on his feet or even pass out.

- How's that? Maybe you should get some rest. - Feeling guilty for her recent act, Hiro put her arm around her idol and gave him a shoulder to lean on.

Sensing something wrong, Alice and Arine followed her, grabbing his arms.

- Mm-hmmm, let's go, the Guild will definitely help you! - Sure enough, Hiro pulled the weakened boy into the building, pushing her way through the group of adventurers.

- Hey! Watch where you're going! - One of the girls was outraged when she was roughly pushed. But when she caught Arinée's gaze, she immediately faltered. - I'm sorry...

Rookie skirmishes were not uncommon, but the sight of a guy with girls clinging to him stirred the minds of the teenagers. Envious sniffles and judgemental glances were heard here and there. Even though it wasn't written in the guild rules, humans and non-humans alike were shaking their heads disapprovingly at the composition of their group.

- Look at this guy even using a girl! Totally lazy!

- Damn, how the hell is that? Why is he surrounded by such pretty girls?

- This guy has no dignity at all!

- One guy and three girls! How ridiculous!

The teenagers and adventurers hastily discussed what they had seen. None of them wanted to see the whole story. Only envy and resentment.

Such murmurings of the crowd attracted the attention of one crumb that with interest decided to find out the reason for the anger of the crowd. And pushing through the wall, she was shockingly confronted by her employer!

- Oh, what's wrong with you, Arien-sama! - Yuki ran up to her employer amidst the increased clamour.

- Another one! What kind of magic is this!

Yuki's heart snapped and tears came out in her chest at the lamentable appearance of her master, thus surprising Hiro with her sudden appearance.

- Who are you? - Hiro asked, trying to push through the crowd, which with her strength was very easy. But she didn't get an answer. Instead, a wave of frost travelled through the crowd that prevented her from passing, miraculously not hitting the young heroine.

'Wow, she's strong!' - Hiro marvelled at her abilities, nodding gratefully to her.

- What do you want? What did this kind man do to you? - Yuki blushed angrily, shooting a menacing glare at the stifled crowd.

- Damn, she's crazy!

- What's wrong with that girl?

- Alright guys, you guys do what you want, but I've got a lot to do.

- Shit, this guild is full of crazy people! I've wasted my time.

The guild officials who were watching the commotion breathed a sigh of relief. The crisis had passed, and the crowd quickly dispersed.

- The newcomers were rampaging again, why did they bother? Uhhh, good thing we didn't need to intervene...' the brunette complained to her friend and she nodded in agreement, looking at her acquaintance curiously.

- Ara, thank you Yuki-chan! - Alice awkwardly thanked her saviour, embarrassed to look her in the eye. The girl herself was embarrassed by the attention and didn't know how to act properly so as not to cause future problems for her lord: 'What a sweet and determined person, the lord has his eye on her for a reason!'

Yuki was finally able to look away and nodded:

- N-nothing, hehehe...you...you...you needed help after all! - The girl nodded modestly.

- That's right! Thank you Yuki-chan! Brother needs help! - Hiro came to her senses, dragging her burden to a quiet corner. Alice, on the other hand, ran to the receptionist's office, Arine ran off to get someone she knew, and Yuki tried to help Hiro.

Only once he was in relative silence was Arien able to focus his gaze on the girls that were tending to him with a concerned look.

- Ugh... how loud those people were screaming...' Arien wrinkled his nose at the headache.

- Brother Arien! - the two girls exclaimed in a chorus of emotion, rushing to smother him in their arms. - We were so worried!

- Not so loud... girls...' the boy groaned, hugging them lightly by the shoulders.

- Oh! Sorry! We didn't mean to! - Once again they blurted out in sync and stared at each other in surprise.

- 'Uggh... it's nothing...' the guy waved his hand with his eyes covered, feeling the warm touch. He... Was pleased to feel so cared for.
